Eat This: Noteworthy Dallas Restaurant Openings & Closings for October
Fall has arrived and football/pumpkin spice season is here. But before you dash off to the State Fair to eat your way through this year’s menu or head to your usual Cowboys-watching location for the same old-same old, be sure to check out the latest in who’s closing in DFW, the newest culinary spots, and what’s right around the corner.

WHERE TO EAT IN OCTOBER
The tiny, tongue-in-cheek Oak Cliff Internet Cafe 2 has closed. This side project from Emporium Pies offered coffee and delicious “sugar rectangles” (think A+ homemade Pop Tarts) before quietly closing last month. Not long after IC2 shuttered, Emporium launched a new "π Scream Truck" serving pie and ice cream combos like buttermilk chess and chocolate hazelnut swirl pie with strawberry ice cream.
About nine months after opening in Uptown, clubby Italian restaurant Pazzo has closed. Pazzo’s social media accounts have been deleted from Instagram and Facebook, and its owners have not yet issued a statement on the restaurant’s closure.
Baker's Ribs announced late last month on Facebook that they're shuttering the Deep Ellum location and moving the operation to their Northwest Highway location.
Max’s Wine Dive has officially departed DFW. The restaurant shuttered its Fort Worth location, just about a year after the Dallas location in Uptown’s West Village closed. The Houston-based chain still operates locations in Austin, Houston, San Antonio, and Denver, but apparently Dallas-Fort Worth had grown tired of the chain’s fried chicken and Champagne.
